Florence and Tuscany Campervan Rental: Road Trip Guide

Quick summary: A campervan is one of the best ways to explore Tuscany’s rolling hills, vineyards and medieval towns from Florence. Collect a campervan or motorhome in Florence, at Florence or Pisa airport, or in Lucca, then head for Chianti, Siena, San Gimignano, the Val d’Orcia or the coast toward the Cinque Terre. Historic centers are closed to most traffic through ZTL zones, so campsites and sosta camper areas outside the walls make the perfect bases.

Why tour Tuscany by campervan?

The region’s highlights are scattered across hills and valleys that trains don’t reach. A campervan lets you wake up among vineyards, arrive in hill towns before the coaches and change plans on a whim.

Can you rent an RV in Tuscany?

Yes. Italians usually just say “camper”, and English listings use campervan hire, campervan rental or motorhome rental for the same vans. Pickups include Florence, both Florence and Pisa airports, Lucca and Pistoia.

Should you drive into central Florence?

No. The historic center is a ZTL, a limited traffic zone monitored by cameras, and rental vehicles generally can’t enter. Stay at a campsite with bus links or park outside the zone. See Florence.
